Sorry scrap that, having a blonde moment! Will have another look, think that must be a brother of Samuels, dont know where him and his familys hiding!

Ok I'm not the only blond one then.
Found loads of the burgess clan on the 1881 census all around eastbourne still which is nice.

William, Eliza, William and Charlotte (Burgess) are on 1841 census but the page has been copied folded over so cant read anything but the names and the fact that they were born in county HO107/1114/11 Folio 41 Page 12 (under the name "Burge" because of the folded page) Hellingly, Sussex
